This is an *awesome*, AUTHENTIC INDIGO TUAREG SCARF.  It is made of 100% cotton and has the INKY, PURPLE- BLUE color of PURE INDIGO DYE.  It has a METALLIC SHEEN that is seen on the “tagelmoust” of Tuareg men.  The tagelmoust is the Tuareg name for the long indigo “veil” that Tuareg men wear.  ACCEPT *NO* SUBSTITUTE; THIS IS THE REAL THING!  The scarf measures approximately 73" (185 cm) long and 30" (76 cm) wide.  Warning!  The Tuareg are not called “blue men” for nothing; the saturated indigo dye in this scarf will rub off and leave you with a blue tinge; this has actually been found to be a form of sun-screen!  VERY STYLISH; ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC!  Indigo is known as “nila” (nee-lah).
